The model-turned-actress - who is married to tennis player Andy Roddick - says she was never really approached by guys before she tied the knot as she thinks she's too tall for most of them.

She said: ''I am very tall and I feel like it is actually quite scary to boys. And I really mean that. I never get approached by people - I think they are scared because they think I will crush them or something.''

However, she says Andy wasn't put off by her height and his persistence paid off, revealing: ''He was resilient. He called a lot, which deterred me at first, and then for some reason it worked when I called him back. And yeah, it worked.''

Brooklyn also says when it comes to men, a sense of humour is very important.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: ''I think fearlessness is incredibly attractive. At times troubled, because it can be risky, but incredibly attractive. I think humour is important. Someone who can make you laugh - that's the upmost thing in a man.''
